Video-Review: Waterman Exception “Slim”

Published 29/10/2017

I have already reviewed the Waterman Expert and the Waterman Carène some time ago. With each Waterman reviewed, I liked the pens (and brand) more and more. To be honest, it was mostly love at second sight and I had to give the pens a little time to grow on me. All of them were superb writers out of the box, but I was a little hesitant with the rather classic design in the beginning – in the meantime I really appreciate just that aspect as well.

On another note: the Expert back then came with a Medium nib that wrote way too broad for me. I had it exchanged for an EF by Waterman – and I have to say that the customer service experience was a breeze. Super fast communication and it took barely 3 weeks from the pen leaving the house until I had it back in my hands. A new converter and a handwritten maintenance note included. No cost. What more does one want.

Having that said, it was a natural move for me to go ahead with Waterman and review another model. This time, I am looking at Waterman’s (almost) flagship pen: the Exception (in the “Slim” version – there is also a chunkier version of the pen, which is called “Night & Day“).

Now, let’s have a closer look at the pen in the video-review below, which is, as always, preceded by some quick facts. Again, I hope the review is helpful and that you enjoy watching it!
